Abstract

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all societies worldwide. The heightened levels of stress that accompanied the crisis were also expected to affect parenting in many families. Since it is known that high levels of stress in the parenting domain can lead to a condition that has severe consequences for health and well-being, we examined whether the prevalence of parental burnout in 26 countries (9,923 parents; 75% mothers; mean age 40) increased during COVID-19 compared to few years before the pandemic. In most (but not all) countries, analyses showed a significant increase in the prevalence of parental burnout during the pandemic. The results further revealed that next to governmental measures (e.g., number of days locked down, homeschooling) and factors at the individual and family level (e.g., gender, number of children), parents in less (vs. more) indulgent countries suffered more from parental burnout. The findings suggest that stricter norms regarding their parenting roles and duties in general and during the pandemic in particular might have increased their levels of parental burnout.

COVID-19大流行期间全球父母的职业倦怠

摘要2019冠状病毒病大流行影响到全球所有社会。随着危机而来的压力加剧，预计也会影响到许多家庭的育儿方式。众所周知，在养育子女方面，高水平的压力会导致对健康和福祉产生严重后果的状况，因此我们研究了26个国家(9,923名父母;75%的母亲;与大流行前几年相比，平均年龄40岁)在COVID-19期间有所增加。在大多数(但不是全部)国家，分析显示，在大流行期间，父母倦怠的发生率显著增加。结果进一步显示，除了政府措施(例如，锁定天数，在家上学)和个人和家庭层面的因素(例如，性别，孩子数量)之外，在不太溺爱孩子的国家(相对于更溺爱孩子的国家)，父母更容易受到父母倦怠的影响。调查结果表明，关于父母角色和责任的更严格规范，特别是在大流行期间，可能会增加他们作为父母的倦怠程度。
